Hi all,
My mum and dad have a PC, which to be honest is the worst thing that could have happened as they now require my help 24/7

Anyway, i have myself on their machine as an Admin and them as limited users to prevent them running things they shouldnt (worse than kids you know). However, Norton and MSN Messenger etc do periodic updates, which wont install under a limited user account - but that means that every time i go over there i have to go and log in as me and update all their stuff etc.

So - i wanted to know if there was any way i can, as an admin, give rights to the limited users to allow specific programs to run updates etc.

Any ideas?
